Review: Violet Voss Holy Grail

For so long I have
tried to get my hands on this palette but it’s constantly out of stock. Back in
December when I saw it was back in stock directly with Violet Voss I couldn’t part
with £90 for a palette it didn’t make any sense. (This palette would come to £90 with postage and custom fees) Especially
as it was previously available to buy from beauty bay for £45.00. I contacted
beauty bay to check if they would be restocking it and they sadly told me they
weren’t. From my understanding there has recently been a problem between the
two companies. I was seriously left in two minds about parting with the money
and just ordering it, but right before Christmas I decided to give it a miss
and maybe next time. A few weeks later they announced a UK stockist and when
my husband said he’d buy it a present from my 21 month daughter I was over the
moon!

Is it worth the hype?

OH MY GOD YES!

BUY THE DAM PALETTE LIFE IS SHORT

(Now that’s off my chest back to the review)

(Please ignore the damage to cranberry splash it happened after I decided to put another palette over it!)

The Holy Grail
palette is filled with 20 eyeshadows in metal, matte and satin finishes. From
looking at the pictures you can tell it’s a warm toned but I think anyone into eyeshadow
will find something they personally love. It comes in a cardboard box the packaging
has been changed recently. I personally liked the old matte black more. I think
it made it look that little bit more expensive and classy. I’m a sucker for
pretty black clean packaging.

I’m super impressed
in a palette of so many shades there’s not one I dislike and wouldn’t work on
me. I personally think if you have blue/green you can’t go wrong in buying
this. I always find these are the sort of colours that make my eyes pop.
Overall I’m so glad I got this under the tree.

I've seen a lot of hype around this palette and I absolutely love the look of it! As you said, I couldn't part with £90 so it's great you found a UK stockist! It looks beautiful and I would love to have it in my collection one day

Lucky you to receive this from your daughter, at such a young age she has fab taste in prezzies hehe ;-) I love the name of the shades, R U Kitten me is fab haha! Thank you for including swatches as well, I find them so useful when deciding whether I should invest in a palette! Great post!

Eeeep this palette is so beautiful!! I was lucky enough to get the Violet Voss x Laura Lee palette for Christmas and I'm so in love. Before this palette I was terrified of matte shades but this has completely and utterly changed my mind. My birthday's coming up so this palette may be going on my list..!

Oh my my, the colours look amazing in this palette! If I didn't already have about 5 other palettes I would totally get this, looooooove the colours! I'll have to convince the boyfriend that I 'need' it as a present ha!

I can't believe that high price all due to customs and postage! Absolutely ridiculous. I'm glad that you were able to get it because as you said life is short! You definitely love it obviously and the colors are fantastic! (:
